Yes, the HOA is pulling those provisions straight from Texas HB362. However, send him info about Texas Property Code Title 11 Chapter 202 Sec. 202.010. This is a separate state law that says HOAs can't prevent people from installing solar energy devices. That's the same fight I went through. I'm now just waiting on Tesla to get through some supply chain issues before installation.

Nice. Thanks!

And great job.

A friend wanted to put solar panels on the roof of his Dallas home and the HOA was going to allow it but only a certain type and color. The requirement was unreasonable to the point that it functionally prohibited him from doing it but the HOA was still within their rights to do so. Does this change help him at all?

What's the Aheago region's deal? Looks the same as the Kanto Eevee.

In the Southern sense, aka frying and drowning everything in fat and salt.

or

John Ritter?

No. He did other terrible things.

I averaged $120 per month on only myself last year.

Do you know what seasoning is lol

The pizza/spaghetti sauce can said garlic, onion, oregano, and basil.

Seasoning?

Huh?

Pineapple on pizza is the least of that plate's crimes.

I thought I had a San Pellegrino mineral water to go with the meal but I guess I do not because I can't find it.

The spaghetti pasta noodles were way too long. Got tired of slurping.

Oh god, is that...is that ketchup on your spaghetti?

No. It's sriracha ketchup.

Pizza with a side of spaghetti and garlic bread.

IIRC one of the big porn sites innovated that feature.

I've got perpetual post-kicked-in-the-balls feeling. It's not just in the junk itself but I feel it in the abdominal area. Ended up taking the prescription painkillers and called the doc just to be sure. Said it's normal and goes away for most people by the end of the first week but could last up to three. Just caught me off guard because I felt a lot better yesterday and woke up today like x_x. Might have done something in my sleep though. I don't know.

If it's vegan, sure.

Damn that's depressing.

it's some BS. insurance companies have no problem taking in money but refuse to help out when one wants a procedure or treatment. hopefully heals fast on procedure.

Yeah it was the first time in my adult life that I was insured and it just wasn't worth it.

Thanks.

Son Of Spam posted...

Welcome to the club. Getting that procedure done was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Thanks. I feel pretty good about it.

I'm still a little sore today but only when I move a certain way, so I'm still just taking it easy. It's not as persistent as it was but it's killing me not being able to exercise because the weather is absolutely perfect this week.

of all the various caricatures on the Simpsons with varying degrees of racism then why is this the only one people care about?

Because this is one of the very few but absolutely the most prominent of those created with zero representation from the people it's making fun of.

Almost all the other characters with "varying degrees of racism" were homages/pastiches/parodies/etc. of existing characters or real life people within that group. Groundskeeper Willie was inspired by a sketch comedy show character created and portrayed by a Canadian actor with a Scottish-born mother. Bumbleebee Man is inspired by El Chapuln Colorado, a cartoonish superhero created and portrayed by a Mexican man. Fat Tony is a mashup of Italian/Italian-American mob characters who themselves were typically modeled after real life gangsters and he was portrayed by an Italian-American actor. Akira was originally voiced George Takei. The Simpson family themselves, this so-called parody of whites, was inspired by Groening's real life family.

Even if there are racial elements to the characters, they were not conceived by the writers or portrayed by the actors as racist.

According to Azaria, Apu was based on Peter Sellers' portrayal of a brownface caricature in The Party and the writers asked him to make the accent as offensive as possible. It was a white voice actor and white writers making a racist joke of a character from the very beginning.

The only other recurring character I think of that is comparable is Cookie Kwan but she's far less prominent, not that it makes her character any better.

Feb. 26 will be a year since I had mine done. That shit definitely hurt lol. The doctor would say "this parts gonna hurt" and then it totally did but it was over fairly quickly. 45 minutes total I think. One daughter. I love her dearly. Total accident lol

Did you have the no scalpel method? That's why I went with this method over the traditional one. I'm not averse to acute pain if it's worth it but I heard good things about this one and they were accurate.

I pay $170 a month for my premiums, but I have an HMO where I have to do everything in network. It's actually convenient for me, since I'm somewhat healthy and I don't have to see lots of specialists. I am 40 though, so I definitely need insurance, just in case.

Oh, my insurance was dog shit and when my premium almost quadrupled, I just said fuck it. The emergency room coverage was nice but I simply couldn't afford it anymore, even with the tax credits.

So... if you masturbate now, nothing comes out?

Kinda weird to ask, but could you detail your first post-procedure orgasm?

A vasectomy just cuts the tube that the sperm uses to travel from the testes to the storage area where it meets all the other fluid from different organs. Still expel semen, just no more sperm passengers after I've cleared whatever remaining ones out.

Can't spank it for a week unfortunately :(

You're speaking in too broad terms but it is possible to have a healthy curry dish.

kelemvor posted...

I paid $35 for mine. Just a specialist copay and that's it. It was cheap because I had an "in office" procedure with a HMO insurance plan.

My premiums shot up so I just canceled my insurance. The price of two months plus copay would've exceeded what I paid out of pocket.

Sariana21 posted...

Im sure the nurses see that all the time.

Hope you have a quick recovery.

Thanks! Yeah she was just like, "gonna tape this down" and went about business. We were talking about cats and wildlife, so it was kinda weird having a casual conversation while chubbed out. For me anyway.

Great job TC. I hope to have one soon. I may adopt once I find a good partner, but no way in hell will i ever be okay with having a kid when we're already taking the planet as is.

Thanks. There are a lot of reasons I don't want to have kids and the environmental impact was probably the least important one but still important stacked on top of all the others. Don't see myself ever adopting either though because my overall stability is fragile. Never know where life takes us though.

cardgum posted...

Just $650? That's cheap.

$599, actually. I don't know where I got $650 from.

Eat More Beef posted...

Ahhh, snap. I've got the same procedure scheduled for a little over a month from now.

Any tips besides what they already told me? Can I take the metro (subway) after, will I be ready, or should I call an uber?

They covered everything pretty well in the material they sent me when I made the appointment. There wasn't anything unexpected.

I took a Lyft both ways and didn't have any issues.

RISEofCHRISTIAN posted...

Did it hurt?

The actual procedure didn't. The numbing spray they use is administered by some kind of contraption that feels like a series of rubber band snaps. One of the early ones hit me square on the right one and that hurt but the numbing kicked in and I didn't feel too many of them. I didn't even know when he actually started and it was over in probably not even 20 minutes.

I'm having some pain and swelling now though that otc stuff isn't really helping. I'm icing and I took some tylenol. They gave me a prescription for something stronger but I generally do not handle prescription pain reliever well so I might just ride it out.

Just inspected. What I thought was a stitch was an edge of the glue blob. No stitches.

emblem boy posted...

I'm gonna get one later this year. Need to start doing the research in regards to finding a place

If you live in a red state, you might want to get on it. I live in Texas and made this appointment in December. The wait is even longer now. I suspect it's because the threats to Roe v Wade have people scrambling to get it done but I'm not basing that on much. It's a big part of why I did it though.

Procedure was fast and easy. There was some awkwardness because I got a bopner when the nurse was prepping me. It's been so long since anyone touched my junk that it just happened, no matter how much I thought about baseball.

Icing my junk now. Feels like those first few seconds after getting hit in the junk only it's persistent. Not too bad though, for now.

ScazarMeltex posted...

Congrats. They doing puncture method instead of cutting and stitching?

Thanks.

It was the no scalpel method, whatever that entails. I think there is a stitch though and some glue.

Did you freeze any beforehand?
650 dollars sounds like a great deal for not having to worry about unintentionally impregnating anyone.

Nope. My genes are trash.

Yeah it's pretty good, best deal I could find.

CapnMuffin posted...

Any prep involved?

Cost to you, if any?

Had to shave my junk.

$650 out of pocket, including 3 month follow up to make sure I'm sterile.

Why?

I don't ever want to be a parent. I also want to have casual sex and would like to have as many precautions against unwanted pregnancy as possible.

Leaving in about 30 minutes.

I don't have expectations anymore. At one point I had dreams and goals but it became pretty clear that even if my mental health and other issues were on point, it'd still be impossible to achieve. I'm sure it's just the depression making me exaggerate things but I don't really enjoy much anymore.

Everything I try to occupy myself with ends up making me miserable and bored, as I constantly get reminded of the various problems I have, or how things aren't looking so good for me. I've almost completely lost interest in video games and I don't really like watching any TV/movies/YouTube anymore. It all feels like going through the motions.

I know what you mean. I really do. One thing that helped me was sort of mourning my past selves. I can pinpoint three or four moments in my life that broke me, most of them in childhood, and there is no way to come back from them. They killed a version of me that will never come back no matter what I do and each death left me more and more ill prepared to handle this world.

It took me a lot to learn that it's okay to feel bad for those mes. It's okay to lament the things I never had a chance to do or see or be. I had to learn to grieve for myself and then move on because every moment stuck on those things created another me to get stuck on and all those mes started to drag me into a hell I barely got out of. I really did have to just take a stand and decide life was worth living, then asses what I have to work with and build on that. Even though my material conditions didn't change too much, my life did improve. Without that declaration to myself, I was just existing, not living and that limbo is where the endgame shit thrived.

I don't expect to rouse you with cliches or aphorisms and I don't know you or your situation, so I'm not trying to offer you explicit steps on how to do this but sooner or later, you will reach a critical juncture on this and I think most people do have the ability to persevere there. I'm sorry you're struggling but I'm rooting for you. PM me if you ever need to talk.

I understand where you're coming from. The trick for me was to lower my expectations and strive to thrive on simplicity. I don't have big dreams. I don't even have little dreams. I have a few things that give me just enough of a push to keep moving forward, not necessarily toward or away from anything but just for movement's sake. They don't take a lot to acquire or maintain and they're all positive things. Reading a book. Taking a walk. Listening to music. Eating a cheap and simple but delicious meal, like curry and rice. I work enough to maintain these things, more or less, because anything more than that throws everything out of balance. I don't get the rewards of aiming high but I also don't get the pain of falling short.

I think it's hilarious.

I don't really think anything about it. I've got like 300 people on my block list, for a variety of reasons, to create the optimal gamefaqs experience for me. If blocking me is conducive to someone else's attempt to do the same, block on, my dude. Block on.

I'm white and I don't take offense to the word. Crackers are great, especially with mayo.

I don't know what it is but I do know it is EVIL.

A lot of reddit's big subs have a blackout on sharing this. Not surprising but just felt like mentioning it.

Convenient scapegoat imo.

i know gape works into this topic somehow

I only eat food I cook and I've been balding for like 10 years, so I just ignore it.

tripleh213 posted...

I thought I was bad drinking 2-3 mixed drinks a day.

Drinking problems aren't only about how much a person drinks. It's more about a desire to reduce or quit drinking clashing with the inability to do so and the negative consequences resulting from that conflict. The specifics of "how much is too much?" vary from person to person so it's hard to gauge our own behavior by another person's.

I say this not in judgment of your behavior or diagnosing you with a problem. That's your call to make, I just like to give people a heads up because I fell into the trap of thinking I "wasn't that bad" or comparing myself to others whose drinking habits dwarfed mine. All it did was give me a false peace of mind while I dug myself so deep I almost couldn't get out.

ok

I was morbidly obese for most of my life and I'm very used to tuning people out in public so I don't have to hear anything negative because of my weight. Now that I'm close to a "normal" weight, my filter is keeping out mostly good interactions but I don't know how to turn it off.

I'm somehow now more socially awkward and inept than ever before and that is both hilarious and deeply saddening.

ok

Congrats. Aside from the aforementioned r/stopdrinking (a big help for me over my 2.5 years of sobriety) I'd like to recommend This Naked Mind by Annie Grace. That book is what really tied everything up for me and filled in the gaps that AA and r/stopdrinking had.

You got this. Feel free to message me any time as well.

EmbraceOfDeath posted...

You really do have to wonder about the type of person who would wish death on people.

I agree with this but only if you're coming at it from the angle that a wish with the power to kill groups of bad people is presumably powerful enough to change them into good people and if we're throwing wishes around, that probably should be the right choice.
